Keenetic router

Updated October 24, 2026

Beta: this way of connecting is not checked on real devices yet. If it does not work, write to support — we will help and fix the guide.

The router connects over WireGuard and counts as one device of your plan. You set it up once; later you change the country for the whole home from your account, without touching the router.

Get the config

  1. Sign in to your Tayra account, open Devices and choose Connect a device.
  2. Choose Router (beta), the firmware Keenetic and the Entry country (or leave Chosen by the service).
  3. Tap Create the config and download the .conf file. It has the private key of the router and is shown only once.

Load it into the router

  1. In the router web interface, open Internet → Other connections → WireGuard and load the connection from the file. The names of menu items can differ between firmware versions.
  2. In the new connection, turn on Use for accessing the Internet.

Keenetic translates addresses of home devices (NAT) for this connection itself.

Leak protection: turn it on yourself

The .conf file sets up only the tunnel. It cannot forbid traffic outside the VPN: these are settings of the Keenetic itself. Without them, when the tunnel fails, home devices go to the internet directly through your provider, and IPv6 from your provider can go outside the VPN. The names of menu items can differ between firmware versions.

  1. Only through the VPN. In Connection priorities, create an internet access policy with only the WireGuard connection turned on, and assign it to the home network or to the devices you need. Then, when the tunnel fails, they have no internet instead of a direct connection.
  2. IPv6. IPv6 is not carried through the tunnel yet. If your provider gives you IPv6, turn IPv6 off in the provider connection or for the home network.
  3. Check. On a device in the home network, open a DNS and IP leak test site: only the address and DNS of the VPN must be visible. Then turn the WireGuard connection off: the device must have no internet.
